In the last years I have built many models Bf 109 in scale 48. This is now my first speed-building. I found by clean up my office a Hasegawa kit. It is very old - from the 88ger years of the last century. So I decided to quick assemble this kit and make a extraordinary eyecatcher camouflage. In the collection "Jagdfliegerverbände der Deutsche Luftwaffe" Volume two I found this template for my kit. The JG53 is known for exceptionally camouflage in this time.
Here ist my kit template:
I reconstructed with help of images from other machines in this fighter squadron in exactly this period, the complete camouflage. This is my result in sclae 48:
And this result is also too my airbrush template for my kit.
This Bf 109E-4 has had a basic camouflage from 1940 in RLM65/02/71, modified with RLM70 and a mixing from RLM02 and 65 for wing upperside and fintail.
This is a good eye catcher!
